Old Piano

Where can I find a self help guide to tuning an old piano?
It’s a really old piano, at the school I go to. I really love to play, but it needs to be tuned badly. Any suggestions would be welcome.
My school doesn’t have a piano teacher, I was kinda hoping I could getting done without costing myself a whole lot of money. I don’t make a lot here at school.
Since you stated your school doesn’t HAVE a piano teacher, guess you can’t ask the piano teacher. (So go ahead and ask here!)
I wonder if someone at your church may be able to help or know someone? If you can’t find anyone, and have to resort to the yellow pages, maybe you could get them to make a “donation” of tuning the piano (since it’s for a school…I’m assuming not-for-profit school). They may not know until the end of their fiscal year if they need a tax deduction, so you may have to wait for them. It’s worth a try though. The worst think they can say is, “No.” Which is no big deal. You’ll never know unless you ask.
Also, another business could pay for the tuning, and write it off THEIR taxes, so if you’re good at asking for donations, that may be another route to go. I wonder if there is a university with a music department that may be able to give you some direction?
Good luck!

Old Brown Shoe $114.71 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Old Brown Shoe is a song written by George Harrison that was first released by The Beatles as a Bside to The Ballad of John and Yoko. It is also available on the Beatles compilation albums The Beatles 19671970, Hey Jude and Past Masters, Volume Two. Harrison commented about this song: I started the chord sequences on the piano, which I dont really play, and then began writing ideas for the words from various opposites… Again, its the duality of things yes no, up down, left right, right wrong, etc. This idea was also prevalent in their earlier single, Hello, Goodbye. The Beatles recording of this song features lead vocals from Harrison, and backing vocals from John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The unusual bass sound was achieved by tracking McCartneys bass with Harrisons lead guitar.
